My thing is to get up there and have a good time and give the fans all you can and appreciate them spending their money and being in the stands – and just be appreciative of them cheering when you come onstage. – Luke Bryan
My focus is trying to make great music and putting on great shows, and whatever happens beyond that is a bonus to me. – Luke Bryan
I think certainly after every show I headline, I will be available to the fans. When I’m headlining a show, I don’t walk off stage. I’ll walk to the front of the stage and sign hats and shirts and tickets for 15 to 30 minutes, until everyone has everything signed. – Luke Bryan
I think it’s always important to constantly keep the band on their toes and try new things that you hope will work. That’s how ‘Apologize’ was born, and maybe down the line another little song will be born by that mentality. I’ve always really liked that song. – Luke Bryan
Obviously, fans are the beginning and end for any artist. The minute your fans embrace you and accept you, you begin this ride of being in music and having a career doing something you love. You get to go be a kid and live out your dreams by performing music for fans who come out to your shows. – Luke Bryan
From my dad I learned to be good to people, to always be honest and straightforward. I learned hard work and perseverance. – Luke Bryan
Growing up in Georgia, my dad was a farmer and we worked in agriculture, so we were always looking up at the sky, checking if rain was in the forecast. That always set the tone for the mood in my household, whether we had rain coming in or not – we knew the crops would be good and it was going to be a good week around the Bryan household. – Luke Bryan
Our crew guys, it’s amazing what they have to go through to make a show happen every night. – Luke Bryan
Just really, really believe in what you’re trying to do. Don’t let people alter that. Let people advise you and lead you down paths to make smart business decisions. But trust your instinct and trust that overwhelming drive that made you put all your dreams and everything on the line. – Luke Bryan
When you look into the eyes of your people out there that came to see you, that’s when it’s like, ‘Yep, this is what it’s all about.’ This is why we don’t sleep, and this is why we write songs and try to be the best. This moment right here onstage. – Luke Bryan
You know, if Kelly Clarkson wants to do country albums because that’s what inspires her, then let her do it. Look at Kanye West or Ludacris… they aren’t rappin’ and cussin’ like they were on their first few albums, so what does that make them? It’s all in the eye of the beholder and the listener. We all use our outlet to grow ourself. – Luke Bryan
My first memories of music were country music and Ronnie Milsap. Where I grew up, it was what you listened to. And anything else, you were somewhat out of place. – Luke Bryan
Early in my songwriting career, when I was learning a lot about writing songs, I’d force myself to sit down until I came up with something. – Luke Bryan
You want women to think of you in a sexy manner. It’s all part of the business. It drives ticket sales. It’s all a part of it. – Luke Bryan
My main thing is I’m gonna go out there every night and give it all I got and just try to put on the best show I can. That’s just the way I’m programmed and wired. – Luke Bryan
